    I have this lovely plant in my garden, its situated in a sheltered spot, quite sunny aspect. Its about 2 feet at its tallest (I have it tied to a cane as it tends to flop all over if I dont!) I wondered if anyone could shed any light. Its got gorgeous pale lime/lemon leaves which start off a pale reddish before they mature, no flowers, just foliage. The leaves are about 5cms long when fully grown, this picture doesnt do it justice Im afraid!

    Thankyou!

    Hi Vegfan It could be Weigela? Is It deciduous? One of our more shrub knowledgeable Friends will be able to answer your Question I am Sure:thumb::)

    I think it's a Spiraea japonica Goldflame.

    If it only grows about 2 to 3 feet, then I would agree with Lavender. My first thought though was , Philadelphus coronarius aureus.
